Meghan Corkill , LCPC, LMHC

Meghan Corkill is a licensed mental health professional with 21 years of experience serving individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. She holds credentials as an LCPC and an LMHC - the LCPC indicating licensure as a clinical professional counselor and the LMHC indicating licensure as a mental health counselor - and has practiced in both Illinois and Iowa.

Over the course of her career she has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including mood and personality disorders, stress, anxiety and panic, depression, addictions related to substances and intimacy, trauma and abuse, and other life stressors. Her experience also extends to work with schools and students, including familiarity with IEPs and 504 plans, and she brings training in advanced addictions work to clinical cases that involve substance use or addictive behaviors.

Meghan approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit individual goals and circumstances. She is comfortable working across many issues such as relationship and family challenges, grief and loss, parenting and caregiver stress, self-esteem and body image concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and coping with life transitions. Taking the first step toward therapy can take courage, and Meghan recognizes and honors that decision.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Meghan integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, which emphasizes listening to each person's perspective and building a collaborative relationship so goals and plans come from the client's own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be especially useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with crisis moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Meghan works together with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time.

Online therapy with Meghan is offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other responsibilities, and allow therapists and clients to focus on progress in ways that fit the client’s life.
